A woman’s pink leopard-print dress which she plans to wear to a wedding reception has been branded "cheap" online.
The wedding guest shared a photo of the frock, explaining she'd "fallen in love" with it.
Asking opinions on Mumsnet to see if it's suitable, people branded the mini-dress "cheap," not "dressy" or "special" enough.

The unnamed woman tried to explain the dress wouldn't be that short on her, as she's only 5"4.
She said: "I'm out shopping for a new outfit for a wedding reception I'm going to in a couple of weeks and have fallen in love with this dress.
"Do you think it's ok for a wedding reception?
"It's not as short on me as it is on the model (I'm only 5ft 4). I was thinking I would wear it with black tights and ankle boots.
"The reception is at a bar/restaurant so not a particularly fancy affair I'm guessing?
"It's a nice bar! But not super posh."
The dress she's fallen for is the Hali roar dress, from All Saints, which costs a whopping $248.50, but promises to "add a touch of the 80s to your wardrobe."

Despite the hefty price-tag, people didn't think it was suitable.
Commenting, one person said, "Hmm, it doesn't seem special enough with black boots and black tights but I like making an effort for weddings as I never get dressed up other times.
"Where's it from, looks a bit cheap in the photo."
Another person said: "It's a nice dress but I don't think wearing it with tights and boots is really 'dressy' enough for a wedding - even if it is just the reception."
Hitting out at the critics, the guest added, "Doesn't look particularly cheap in real life and the ruching hides all sorts of sins!"
